Spring Cleaning for your Marketing: Beat stale marketing tactics with these new, trending promotional products

Time to do some inventory! What do your current promotional products say about your company? Are you holding on to items with outdated versions of your logo just because you don’t want to waste them? Are your customers cracking jokes about the t-shirt collection they have from your company?If you have to dust off your promo products before actually handing them out, it might be time to refresh your marketing strategy.

To help you navigate the sea of promo options, we've pulled some of our favorite new items on the scene for 5 major categories: drinkware, hats, apparel, technology and bags. If you need us to send you a sample or you would like a virtual sample with your logo, let us know!

1. DRINKWARE | 12 OZ. MIIR CAMP MUG

As low as $21.59 each

Make your customer's campfire memories a little warmer with this modern take on Grandpa's old camp cup. Its Thermo 3D ™ Double Wall Vacuum insulation means they won't burn their hands and their daily coffee cup will be the envy of the office. Feel good about your investment, too! Every MiiR product funds a trackable giving project.


2. HATS | SPIRE HAT

As low as $16.67 each

The cotton, textured fabric of this structured, snapback cap is just the start of what makes it so popular. Rather than a traditional screen printed or embroidered logo, you have the option of getting your decoration laser-etched on a leather patch or a full-color digital design imprinted on a leather patch of your choosing. (Not only Burger King let's you have it your way!)

3. APPAREL | THE NORTH FACE® DRYVENT™ RAIN JACKET

As low as $113.33 each

Made with an environmentally friendly membrane, this waterproof, breathable jacket lets your customers explore the trails (or just make it to work) without getting soaked. Plus, it's 100% windproof! Rain coats are not very glamorous, but do not underestimate the impact of a useful promo product!

4. TECHNOLOGY | TOTTER

As low as $21.00 each

This German-inspired design is taking off as one of the most popular newer items on the market. With its unique look, the Totter is a memorable way to connect with your clients or prospects, while giving them a handy Bluetooth speaker that provides a crisp, full sound experience.

(The "on" switch is on the crook of the arch so it does not turn off while teetering!)


5. BAGS | EL DORADO

As low as $45.00 each

Do you know any adrenaline seekers, voyagers, or some trendy professionals? The El Dorado roll-top backpack is the answer. Its top can be rolled for style and fit, or unrolled and zipped to utilize its full capacity. The side zip pockets are perfect for water bottles and the side-zip entry to the main compartment allows for quick access to everything, including a laptop!


*BONUS IDEA* | SIGNAL TWIST ACTION STYLUS PEN WITH LIGHT-UP LOGO

As low as $1.49 each

Not everything has to be a huge investment. That's why we love this new design that is quickly becoming the new standard for promotional pens. Let your brand shine by having your logo laser engraved in the backlit barrel of this pen.

If that isn't enough to get the attention of your audience, this pen also has the added functionality of a soft stylus.

There are too many great options available for you to sit on stale products. Donate those old things and invest in new gear that really represents your brand.

What Decal Material Lasts Longest Outdoors? A Spec-by-Spec Comparison

What Decal Material Lasts Longest Outdoors? A Spec-by-Spec Comparison

The longest-lasting outdoor decal is cast vinyl under a UV-stable overlaminate, which 3M rates at 8 years for its standard printed-and-laminated construction. Polyester with a polyester overlaminate runs 5 to 8 years. Polymeric calendered vinyl falls well short of both, and economy monomeric film can be finished inside a year. But the material is only half the answer — orientation, climate, and how the decal fails matter as much as what it's made of.

Kiss-Cut vs Butt-Cut Labels: How to Choose (With Spec Table)

Kiss-Cut vs Butt-Cut Labels: How to Choose (With Spec Table)

Kiss-Cut vs Butt-Cut Labels: How to Choose (With Spec Table): Choose kiss-cut labels when they'll be peeled by hand off a backer or fed from a roll or sheet, or when the shape is anything but a plain rectangle. Choose butt-cut when the label is rectangular and volume, speed, and unit cost decide the job. Kiss-cut buys flexibility; butt-cut buys throughput. Everything below is detail on that one rule.
